GingerCat Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 For a gun not used often I'd go spring and probably an hw99s. Its not very loud and with a silencer its a bit quieter. Totally reliable and very accurate a gun I wish I hadn't sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 TBH - putting a Mod on an old Springer is akin to buying a bike for a Goldfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah missed your last post, hope all goes ok 👍 took the old Diana .22 down the woods this morning to zero the scope. took some time to settle down as it has not been fired for years. I have ordered the silencer so will re zero when I get it plus I used Milbro caledonian pellets that I found in the garage. Quite some variation i skirt size. have ordered some pellets from 'wolf man' that have been recommended for older guns. Thanks for your help. Some good info on this site.

Hello, I always lube my air rifle pellets with LT 1, I am sure you will find a difference on the silencer, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 What pellets did he recommend? Mine loves AA field and JSB Exacts - quite tight fit but superb accuracy. BTW - before you go terrorising the bunnies, have you chronographed the gun to make sure she is on par - they only put out around 10.5 ft/lb when new - that's around 540 fps with a 16 gr pellet.

Exacts it is. No chrono though. It will be squirrels at 25yards. The gun had a new spring and washers just before it was stored. Not a power house but it should do the job.

bruno22rf Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I love mine 88inch - wanted one for over 30 years before finally buying one - not regretted it for a moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
